Oh got this for my trans cooling

Send it back if you haven't opened it yet. I have that same one and it doesn't cool worth a shit.

 

[Mr Stubs]

Just think how long it's going take grooving those with a hot knife......:flipoff2:

 

[flatblack51]

Spend the cash on the CBR cooler man. Money well spent for sure.

Heaviest tire/wheel combo known to man? :flipoff2:

I pooped a little bit trying to get one of mine up 8" to the axle at full bump the other day

You guys are tire brothers:flipoff2:

You guys are tire brothers:flipoff2:

i suggest grooving the center lugs, i did mine and the difference was quite noticeable

I plan on it. Gonna buy one of those 80 dollar groovers. Any recommendations?

The ebay special is bad? It's out of some race job in socal and looks just like the CBR units I have seen. Guess it if doesn't work I can use it as a oil or steering cooler.

I bought one of those cheap Ideal tire groovers with a #10 blade and it SUCKED balls. I reverted to using a chain saw, which was much faster.

 

[ROXROES]

The only guys I have heard complain haven't put any time into trying to tune them.

Amen, cause coilovers tune themselves. :laughing:

Well maybe someone super cool pirate member could loan me theirs

i have this one

Deluxe 110 Volt 250 Watt Grooving Iron - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop

for the price it works ok, dont use an extension cord as it wont get as hot compared to plugged directly into the wall. i had to make two passes on each lug to get the width i wanted, took me about 30 minutes to do a tire, did all 4 tires with the same blade. i bought a bigger head and blades for it but it didnt get hot enough so i just use the head it came with.

 

[kdub0013]

Sweet I'll get that ordered

 

[kdub0013]

Got the front shocks in as well as bumps. Power steering pump is in and I pulled string to figure out what belt length I need. Started setting up the ram for full hydro. Late start but good progress.

 

[dragrcr65]

I told you it was going to have to be offset....

 

[kdub0013]

By about an inch

 

[kdub0013]

It's officially a roller now. Steering is all setup on the axle and I got the fuel cell in its final resting place. Set it at ride height. Lower links are flat, belly is 19" and I have 5" uptravel for now.

I left enough room behind the fuel cell to run the sway bar.

Good progress today and I even cleaned the work space and did the yard work.

 

[kdub0013]

Debating moving my motor back 5" 2 benefits I can think of is better weight distribution and my oil pan on the trans wont be blocked my the lower link crossmember. Worth the time?

I believe I could get the 2nd engine cage bar back in and everything will be truly protected. Pushing the motor back will also increase the room I have for the front driveline. Geeze the more I type the more I find advantages

I think I am finally going to pull the trigger on my harness this week and finally get that ordered. Was trying to source a stock harness and haven't had any luck. Looking at the PSI brand.

 

[the_white_shadow]

I run PSI harness for my swap. Best $500 I ever spent (I HATE wiring). Literally plug it in, hookup 3 wires and go. If I can do it, anyone can.

EDIT: Oh and their customer service is awesome. I called them several times with all kinds of dumbass questions and they were quick to explain everything to me. Even answered a few emails on the weekends.

 

[rockyota83]

i would push the engine back as far as i possibly could, i pushed mine back as far as the rear drive line would let me.
